Testing tubular members

A tubular member testing system, comprising:

• a plurality of tubular members, each tubular member comprising an outer radial surface, an inner radial surface, a first open end, and a second open end;
• a laser reflector positionable at or adjacent the first open end of each tubular member;
• and
• an autonomous machine, comprising:
• a body;
• a mobile base coupled to the body and configured to move the body between the second open ends of the plurality of tubular members;
• and
• at least one extendable appendage coupled to, and configured to extend from, the body, the at least one extendable appendage comprising at least one laser sensor plate, the at least one laser sensor plate comprising:
• at least one laser emitter configured to move on the at least one laser sensor plate and emit a laser signal along one of the inner radial surface or the outer radial surface of each tubular member;
• at least one laser receiver coupled to the at least one laser sensor plate and configured to receive a reflected laser signal from the laser reflector along the other of the inner radial surface of the outer radial surface of each tubular member;
• and
• a controller configured to perform operations comprising determining a quality of each tubular member based at least in part on the emitted laser signal and the reflected laser signal.

A method for testing a tubular member, comprising:

• activating an autonomous machine that comprises:
• a body;
• a mobile base coupled to the body;
• and
• at least one extendable appendage coupled to the body, the at least one extendable appendage comprising at least one laser sensor plate that comprises:
• at least one laser emitter;
• and
• at least one laser receiver;
• moving the autonomous machine to a first open end of a particular tubular member of a plurality of tubular members with the mobile base;
• operating the at least one laser emitter to emit a laser signal along a first radial surface of the particular tubular member;
• receiving, from a laser reflector positioned adjacent a second open end of the particular tubular member, a reflected laser signal along a second radial surface of the particular tubular member opposite the first radial surface with the at least one laser receiver;
• and
• based on the emitted laser signal and the reflected laser signal, determining a quality of the particular tubular member.
